For the first time, the idea of celebrating Father's Day came to the United States as far back as 1909. It was at this time that the sixth child was born to the large head of the family, William Jackson. Having received the long-awaited baby, he lost his beloved wife, but was able to independently raise healthy and full-fledged children. One of his daughters thought that she should express gratitude to her father for the fact that he alone fed and raised her and five other brothers and sisters. Then the woman turned to the local authorities with a request to establish a new holiday for the fathers. The event was to be held on the birthday of William Smith with many children - June 5, but was only on the 19th, as there was not enough time to prepare the holiday. After that, Father's Day became popular in other countries.
Thanks to this brave man and his children, in many places this holiday is celebrated - in the USA, in the Netherlands, in Great Britain, in France, in China.
Father's Day is an event that, according to former President Calvin Coolidge, will strengthen the relationship between children and their dads, and it should also remind family leaders of their responsibilities in raising a child. But still this celebration was officially accepted only in 1972. Starting from this year, to this day every third Sunday of June is celebrated Father's Day, where all loving children give roses to their dads. If the father died, then white flowers are brought to his grave, and if he is in perfect health, they give red roses.
In each country, this holiday is celebrated at different times. And therefore, to the question - Father's Day, what date, you can answer that this event is being held all year around the world. Most celebrate it in June, but Australia and Ukraine, for example, hold a celebration in September, Sweden in November, Georgia and Italy in March, Brazil in August. As for Russia, there is no official adoption of this holiday yet. But still, in some Russian corners, people take part in this event. Currently, Father's Day is celebrated by such cities as Perm, Novosibirsk, Dimitrovgrad, Cherepovets, Volgograd, Lipetsk, Kurchatov, Kursk, Ulyanovsk.
Although many deputies support the initiative to introduce this celebration in Russia, nevertheless, some authorities do not agree to establish this holiday for various reasons.
Some representatives of parliament say that such an event already exists - this is February 23rd. Also, most opinions came to the conclusion that the father is a constant value that does not need to be celebrated, unlike the mother. It is advisable to leave the holiday on March 8, when all mothers can be thanked for the wonderful birth and birth of children.
In Russia, they are not in a hurry to approve such a holiday, but they come to the opinion to establish a Family Day, which can revive the lost morality. Opinions differ, still not all countries prefer to introduce this holiday, citing the fact that not every father deserved such an event.
At the moment, many residents of different countries and cities can express their gratitude and love for the heads of the family. Congratulations to your father on his birthday can be very different, given the wishes and nature of the parent.
Let's hope that soon every Russian will celebrate this wonderful holiday. If we judge that not every dad deserves a good relationship, then we can note modern mothers who do not want to raise a child and give him to orphanages. But still for such "mothers" there is - International Women's Day. The issue of introducing Father's Day in Russia will worry all residents for many more years. Many representatives of the heads of the family are quite worthy of this holiday, because the modern man is more reverent, responsible and sensitive to the education of his baby.
